It feels unsatisfying hitting stuff with the panther

first of all I am very biased when it comes to the Panther tank. Love that thing despite being a big over engineered mess.

Since Berlin came out, I was and still am disappointed with how weak the 7.5 l70 gun performs. No matter what I shoot, it either bounces, disappears into oblivion, or deals too little dmg.
This iconic tanks needs some love, I mean man, if I could choose it I would take the T34-85 into battle any day, since its hitbox is so broken and glitchy.

The panther is considered by many to be the most effective tank of the entire war despite its reliability issues. Its gun surpassed the Tigers 88 when it comes to overall anti tank capabilities.

something needs to be done, it just hurts my little Wehraboo soul to see its gun deal too little dmg.

I don’t know… Berlin is RELATIVELY balanced for tank play rightnow. Took a while but it now is fine. I wouldn’t want to tip the scale too much.

On the other hand it would be hilarious to see the discontent in Normandy if it were to happen :laughing:

No need! At lvl 20, axis team is already very solid, and you have the proper premium squads. In fact… I’d better pray for your opponents! :laughing:

The T-28 with its shrapnel shell is much worse, you cant even damage a Pz. II at times.
The 85mm on the T-34 also feels really anemic, it should nuke panthers when it pens but it does not.

This seems like you aim at the worst spots possible, the panther has the most powerfull cannon in the game, in short its a l2p issue.

Unfortunately I think its gun is in a perfect place. Its all about where you hit in this game.
I’m what I like to consider a Veteran now of Enlisted. But I was having problems killing a few tanks with Panzerfaust 60 and at first I was convinced it was bad hitboxes like AB41. However a friend of the game helped me and in the training ground I learned where all the weak points were. Suddenly what took 3 shots or more, takes 1 to 2. I watched him dismantle tanks with the sturmpistole.

Take the tank to the training ground, shoot at targets until you get a feel for good places to hit, and what to avoid if possible.

A good hit with an 85mm APHE or panzerfaust at the side of the panther is instant boom that’s really satisfying to being able to do that.

Try shooting jumbos with the panther and it really feels good to make them go boom because of how annoying jumbos are both here and in War Thunder.

you answered that to your self mate.

that’s the main problem with majority of the tank, ( T60s, Abs, PZ IIIms, M5s ecc )

they soak entire shells up.
no matter the tank you are using, the shells won’t do any damage because get fucked on RNG of armor.

if you are playing berlin, i suggest you to aim for the Turett Cheeks of T34s. but good luck. because there’s a chance you will not pen it either.

( it’s funny, because i don’t recall T34s having extra armor on the hull that can bounce panthers shells at 300 meters. but well… what do i know )

i see you posses a certain sense of humor

The panther also has broken armor.
Often, the T-34 cannot penetrate into lightly armored areas at right angles.

The back of the turret.There is a ammo there.All germany tanks one shot t-34 in this zone.
